I know this book blog has been largely ignored by yours truly, but not my books. So there’s not much to worry. I’m half-way through reading The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant expecting to finish it by September.

Anyways, here’s to break the silence by sharing with you the latest releases in Literature and Fiction over at Amazon.
